Default HUD Adjustment

My HUD seems a little blurry. Now it could be my eyes or it could be that it is somewhat out of focus. Is there a way to sharpen this up a bit?

There is no user focus adjustment. One thing that would make it blurry is a non-HUD replacement windshield.

No adjustment that I have found. I have the same problem at times, but I'm sure it's my eyes.

It may have to do with the location of the sun in relation to your HUD. I freeked the first time it happened to me, then noticed as I made a turn the problem went away. Have seen it 3 or 4 more times since, allways a sun issue, HUD becomes very bright blue green color and all the symbols become visible, no matter how you have it configured.

Did you look for any dirt or dust on the window of the projector?

Same thing happened to me after the first week. I thought I had problems and was looking at the DIC to determine an issue. As the sun's angle change it came back clear again. So now I'm aware of it and see it happening more often during mid day hours.

It was probably the sun/angle like you all suggested. It seems to be fine now. Amazing what a little sleep does!

Polarized sunglasses also can make it look dim!
